CCAC Educational Foundation Quick Facts

The CCAC Educational Foundation was established to support the mission of
CCAC by creating awareness, advocating on behalf of the institution, raising, managing and distributing funds.

The foundation believes it is important to invest a portion of
its unrestricted money to create awareness of the college and fund
activities that support the college president's presence in the
community. These unrestricted funds are used to cultivate
relationships with potential and existing donors, open fundraising
doors and, ultimately, raise money.

Over the course of the last five years, an average of 85% of the
foundation's expenses have fallen into the category of program
services including student scholarships, program
development, equipment and facilities. The other 15% of the
expenses are split between the categories of management and general
and fundraising.

Up until the 50th Anniversary year, the CCAC
Educational Foundation had 60 endowed scholarships. During
the 50th Anniversary celebration, 33 new
endowed scholarships were created which represented a more than 50% increase in
our endowed scholarships.

The CCAC Educational Foundation conducted a five year capital
campaign between 2008 and 2013 that generated $40 million. That campaign, launched at the start of the recent national recession,
exceeded its goal of $30 million. It was
recognized as one of the top five fundraising campaigns in the country
as noted by CASE (The Council for Advancement and Support of
Education).

In 2002, the Foundation's assets total just over $1 million.
Today, the endowment currently stand at $9,135,685.
